Rather than trying to building practical pattern recognition systems using computers we can use animal brains, i.e. not models for brains, like the bee brain model http://greenbrain.group.shef.ac.uk/ http://greenbrain.group.shef.ac.uk/, but actual brains hooked up to circuitry. Or, if the whole brain is impractical, just relevant parts, e.g. the visual cortex for visual analysis. Using higher-level animals like a pig may be gross, ethically speaking but how about others, e.g. mice. Think about a visual processing unit using 1,000 mice brains harvested from embryos. I think the bottleneck here is to keep brains/tissues alive, so this research is interesting.
